Key takeaways

Maven's Graduate Trader process runs Arctic Shores as round 2, after a numerical test and alongside a probability test.
It is five games, but prep sources disagree on the lineup; only Direction and Security appear in both.
Practice the union of reported games: Direction, Security, Balloon, Expressions, Balance, Order and Pattern.
Later rounds add an on-demand video interview, then HR and technical interviews; the next cycle is expected around autumn.

Assessment details

Program: Graduate Trader Program

Maven Securities runs Arctic Shores as round 2 of its Graduate Trader process, after a numerical test and alongside a probability test.

Maven’s own emerging-talent page confirms the Arctic Shores assessment but publishes no task list, and current prep sources disagree on the exact five-game lineup: TradingInterview reports Direction (80 rounds), Balloon (45 rounds), Faces (50 expressions), Security Door (20 rounds) and a Pattern next-in-sequence game (20 rounds, 17-minute limit), while Aptitude Test Prep instead reports Balance, Order, Direction, Expressions and Security. Only Direction and Security appear in both — so treat the union as your practice set.

Later rounds add an on-demand video interview and HR plus technical interviews.

Task-list evidence

Maven confirms Arctic Shores but publishes no task list, and the two current prep sources report materially different five-game lineups — only Direction and Security appear in both. Practice the union; configurations can change between cycles.
